In clinical practice, the above syndromes often do not appear in isolation but overlap and intermingle. Ultimately, they all lead to deficiency of both qi and blood, and deficiency of yin and yang; on the other hand, qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm condensation, and heat-toxin become even more stubborn. Therefore, the general treatment principle is to strengthen righteous qi while removing stasis, detoxifying, softening hard masses, and dispersing knots.
